Deductions & credits
As you click through the screens when preparing the NJ tax return, you will come to the following screen, on which you can enter the information necessary to take the credit on your state return.
The Wounded Warrior Caregivers Relief Act provides a tax credit to qualified family caregivers who take care of a military service member who has a disability arising out of service in any war or conflict on or after September 11th, 2001.
The credit is equal to 100% of the federal veteran disability compensation, or $675, whichever is less.
You are eligible for this credit if you provided care for a relative who is a qualifying armed services member and your gross income was $100,000 or less (married, filing joint; head of household; qualifying widow(er)) or $50,000 or less (single; married, filing separate).
